    It is actually God farting, and lighting his own farts. And that is a fact.

    You near Killiney? Saw a flash then 2-3 seconds later an absolutely massive boom with cracking after. Sure it was thunder?

    :( I have music blaring and didn't hear a thing. You think thunder and lightning is scary in your house? Try being on a beach in the pitch black of night in an ar$ehole island in Greece, pissed and lost, on your own, in the lashing rain, when the most fu*king almighty boom follows a flash uncomfortably bright and close - I am amazed I literally didn't sh*t in my pants.

    The adrenalne rush of running through a thunder storm is amazing though, so scary.

    We thought it hit something out my back garden... Literally flashed and banged together, rumbled my house. Never heard it that loud before, each of our legs were tingling after it hit too. Shankill by the way. All the alarms on the road went off.

    Loudest Thunder I have ever heard was so loud it woke me from my sleep, i was gripping my pillow it was sooo loud and scary. Happened in canada during the summer, due to the extreme humidity.

    Never seen or heard anything even a tenth as scary in Ireland.
